Operation:
The inertia reel stops the belt from
unwinding during sudden vehicle
stops or when quickly pulling on the
belt.
The emergency tensioning retractor
tightens the seat belt upon major
frontal impacts within the shaded area
shown on page 40.
The locking function of the reel may
be checked by quickly pulling out the
belt.
• Adjust front seat belts so that the
shoulder portion of the belt is
located as close as possible to the
middle of the shoulder (it should
not touch the neck). For this pur­
pose, raise or lower the belt outlet
(3 positions). To lower the belt out­
let, press button (4).
The belt must be pulled snug and
checked for snugness immediately
after engaging it and during driv­
ing. If necessary, tighten the lap
portion to a snug fit by pulling
shoulder portion up.
Unfastening
• Push in the red button (3) in the
belt buckle (2).
• Allow the retractor to completely
rewind the seat belt by guiding the
latch plate (1).
